Anemone dying?

[bw3002]

Pictures taken 24 hours apart, anemone has been in tank for 5 days. Parameters have been stable for months

No. Looks a little droopy though. How old is the tank and what are perams?

3 months but transfered all rock, sand, water directly from a tank that was running for 3 years. PH 8.2, phosphate <.1, nitrate 0, Nitrite 0, ammonia 0. Just fed him a piece of shrimp yesterday.

Yep I. have done what you said transferred everything over. You probably jumped the cycle . And my nems were fine
Your anemone looks healthy probably get acclimatising to the change. For anemones you want nutrients in the water your nitrate is at 0 so bring that up say to 10 and I’ve kept my anemones in higher phosphate as well and they thrived. Good luck going forward
Your rock work looks very clean and new when I changed things over it was with live Rock

You may wanna add some aminos or feed the tank more to get nitrate up.

Also how's the flow looking in that tank? It looks stagnant

Mine will be a little droopy after a big meal. It'd Luke us after turkey day.

Flow is decent, I have 3 heads on 3 hour schedules, all are on for 1 hour together, all are off for 1 hour together

He sits right in the most turbulent area when the 3 are on together

they get crabby sometimes and look horrible, I find you got to give them a day or two to be sure they are actually having an issue or just being grumpy

I wouldn't turn them off for that long. There needs to be constant flow from them at all times.

ya I wouldn't shut the flow down for an hour, it's a bit to long

Update: Post meal bloat, he's happy I'd say
